Effects of carbon contents on morphology and electrical properties of Li2MnSiO4/C prepared by a vacuum solid-state method

To improve the electrochemical performance of Li₂MnSiO₄ with low electric conductivity, the Li₂MnSiO₄/C composite are synthesized by a vacuum solid-state reaction of a mixture of SiO₂, LiCH₃COO, Mn(CH₃COO)₂ and designed mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ · H₂O as carbon sources. The crystalline structure and morphology of products are analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and laser scattering technology (LS) respectively. The tested results show that carbon doping decrease the crystallite sizes of products, but keep the aggregation of the particles and made the impurity increased instead. The results of constant current charge-discharge prove that the mixed carbon improve Li⁺ transmission performance and decrease inner polatization resistance of Li₂MnSiO₄ materials, but can not prevent the collapse of Li₂MnSiO₄ crystal structure. While the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) results demonstrate that the primary reason for the improved electrochemical performance can be attributed to increased Li-ion diffusion coefficient $(D_{Li^ + } )$ as a result from carbon doping.     

Synthesis,Structural Characterization and Properties of Two Strontium Borates Constructed from Oxo Boron Clusters

Two strontium borates Sr₂[B₆O₉(OH)₄] (1) and Sr₂B₅O₉(OH)·H₂O (2), with acentric structures have been synthesized under hydro/solvothermal conditions. Compound 1 is reported for the first time in the strontium borates system, and it crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁ with unit cell parameters a = 6.8445(5) Å, b = 8.7033(6) Å, c = 8.4632(6) Å, β = 100.581(6)°, V = 495.58(6) ų and Z = 2. Its structure consists of unusual borate layers of 3, 11-membered rings, which are interconnected via Sr–O ionic bonds and hydrogen bonds to generate a 3D supramolecular network. Compound 2 is a known strontium borate, crystallizing in the monoclinic space group C ₂ with a = 10.161 (13) Å, b = 7.965(4) Å, c = 6.393(11) Å, β = 128.0(2)°, V = 407.7(14) ų and Z = 2. Second-harmonic generation measurements on the powder samples reveal that 1 and 2 exhibits good SHG efficiency about 1.5 and 2 times that of KDP (KH₂PO₄) powder respectively.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Magnetic Property of a New Binuclear Copper (II) Complex Containing Water Clusters

A new binuclear copper (II) complex {[Cu₂(phen)₂(tar)(H₂O)]·8H₂O}_n (1) has been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The complex crystallizes in monoclinic system, space group P2(1), with a = 7.1710(5), b = 22.0124(15), c = 10.6691(7) Å, β = 102.541(1)°, V = 1643.95(19) Å³, Z = 2. Compound 1 is further extended to a 2D supramolecular framework by hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions. Especially, six of the eight uncoordinated water molecules are connected via hydrogen bonding interactions forming 1D chain, which play an important role in the stabilization of the crystal structure. Furthermore, magnetic susceptibility measurements of this complex shows weak antiferromagnetic exchange between the copper (II) ions (J = ?5.92 cm^?1).     

Synthesis of a New Liquid Crystalline Polymer as a Highly Active β-Nucleator and Its Effect on Melting and Crystallization Behaviors of Isotactic Polypropylene

A new nematic liquid crystalline polymer as a highly active β-nucleator (LCP-N) of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) was synthesized and characterized. The effect of LCP-N on thermal behavior of the iPP was investigated with differential scanning calorimetry. LCP-N showed a melting transition at 85.0°C and a nematic to isotropic phase transition at 278.0°C. The incorporation of LCP-N could lead to substantial changes in the thermal behavior of the iPP. The nucleating activity of LCP-N mainly depended on its content, mesogenic molecular structure, and thermal history of processing. A high content of β-form could be obtained by the combined effect of the optimum LCP-N concentration and crystallization temperature and time. The Φ_β reached 77% when the LCP-N content, crystallization temperature, and crystallization time were 0.4 wt.%, 125°C, and 1 h, respectively.     

The influence of silicone shell on double-layered microcapsules in intumescent flame-retardant natural rubber composites

The mechanisms of the thermal degradation of polyhedral oligomeric octaphenylsilsesquioxane (OPS), octa(nitrophenyl)silsesquioxane (ONPS), and octa(aminophenyl)silsesquioxane (OAPS) were investigated. The –NO₂ or –NH₂ substituents on the phenyl group affected the mechanism of the POSS thermal degradation. The thermal stabilities of OPS, ONPS, and OAPS were characterized by TG and FTIR. Thermal degradation of OPS included mainly the degradation of caged polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane structures and phenyl groups. Nitro or amino substituents decreased its thermal stability. The thermal degradation processes of OPS, ONPS, and OAPS differed. Phenyl groups and cyclobutadiene were observed in the OPS degradation products. Oxygen radicals that caused intensive CO₂ release between 350 and 450 °C were generated by the degradation of ONPS –NO₂. OAPS released mainly aminophenyl groups at 370 °C, whereas a small number of phenyl groups decomposed at 500 °C. The OAPS reactivity could enhance the thermal stability of POSS structure in the polyimide OAPS composites.     

The calcined zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) under different conditions as electrode for supercapacitor applications

Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is synthesized by typical solvothermal method and subsequently calcined under air and nitrogen atmosphere, respectively. The carbon in the calcined ZIF-8 under nitrogen atmosphere was from the carbonization of the guest molecules, without adding any other carbon sources. The samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and electrochemical analyzer system. When the ZIF-8 is used as electrode materials for a supercapacitor in 6 M KOH electrolyte, it displays a pseudocapacitive behavior. The untreated ZIF-8 and calcined ZIF-8 under air and nitrogen atmosphere electrodes exhibit a specific capacitance of 96, 156, and 185 F g^?1, respectively, at a scan rate of 5 mV s^?1 and good stability over 1,500 cycles. These results indicate that the ZIF-8 is a promising material for supercapacitors.     

Electrochemical Synthesis of Tetrahexahedral Rhodium Nanocrystals with Extraordinarily High Surface Energy and High Electrocatalytic Activity

Noble metal nanocrystals (NCs) enclosed with high‐index facets hold a high catalytic activity thanks to the high density of low‐coordinated step atoms that they exposed on their surface. Shape‐control synthesis of the metal NCs with high‐index facets presents a big challenge owing to the high surface energy of the NCs, and the shape control for metal Rh is even more difficult because of its extraordinarily high surface energy in comparison with Pt, Pd, and Au. The successful synthesis is presented of tetrahexahedral Rh NCs (THH Rh NCs) enclosed by {830} high‐index facets through the dynamic oxygen adsorption/desorption mediated by square‐wave potential. The results demonstrate that the THH Rh NCs exhibit greatly enhanced catalytic activity over commercial Rh black catalyst for the electrooxidation of ethanol and CO.

Facile Access to cis‐2,6‐Disubstituted Tetrahydropyrans by Palladium‐Catalyzed Decarboxylative Allylation: Total Syntheses of (±)‐Centrolobine and (+)‐Decytospolides A and B

cis‐2,6‐Tetrahydropyran is an important structural skeleton of bioactive natural products. A facile synthesis of cis‐2,6‐disubstituted‐3,6‐dihydropyrans as cis‐2,6‐tetrahydropyran precursors has been achieved in high regio‐ and stereoselectivity with high yields. This reaction involves a palladium‐catalyzed decarboxylative allylation of various 3,4‐dihydro‐2H‐pyran substrates. Extending this reaction to 1,2‐unsaturated carbohydrates allowed the achievement of challenging β‐C‐glycosylation. Based on this methodology, the total syntheses of (±)‐centrolobine and (+)‐decytospolides A and B were achieved in concise steps and overall high yields.
